ASHLAND, Or., Oct. l.V-Anoth
er case, yesterday in Judge Kpgle
slon's court goes to prove that lili-
'.'iilioii like all other prominent events,
iiiovch in cycles. In this particular
trial, which was a criminal mm, Ches
ter Mow and llichard Mow figured.
(In complaint of D. W. ICincnid, n
stockman of Ihe Neil creek neigh
borhood, several miles out, the Mow
brothers were arrested charged with
appropriating and butchering u calf
belonging lo Ihe Kinciiids on their
range.
Chester Mow lives 11 wnyH up llm
Ai-hbind canyon, while Richard re
sides near the lloulcvard mil urn y
crossing, and upon searching their
respective premises, officers found
portions of the calf's cnreiiHH, identi
fied them from the fact that other
portions were left where the slaugh
tering occurred, which wtis in the
Sampson Creek region.
Tlm trial brought out n "full
house", not only consisling of the
witnesses and other interested parlies
but also spectators, the number ol'
which taxed the capacity of the new
ly evented municipal court headquar
ters, es inlcrest in this calf case
-leered ipiiie n number in that di
rection. After the evidence was nil in and
attorneys had gotten honked cp over
the arguments, Ihe court bound Ihe
Mow brolhers over for appearance nt
circuit court in tlm sum of .infln
each, mid default of raising of which
Ihey will in all probability have to
go tu the counly jail.
No evidence was submitted in be
half of the defendants.
